    <h1>How to verify signatures for packages</h1>
    <hr>

<p>Each file on <a href="<page download/download>">our download page</a> is accompanied
    by a file with the same name as the package and the extension
    ".asc". These .asc files are GPG signatures. They allow you to verify
    the file you've downloaded is exactly the one that we intended you to
    get. For example, tor-browser-<version-torbrowserbundle>_en-US.exe is accompanied by
    tor-browser-<version-torbrowserbundle>_en-US.exe.asc.</p>

<p>Of course, you'll need to have our GPG keys in your keyring: if you don't
    know the GPG key, you can't be sure that it was really us who signed it. The
    signing keys we use are:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Roger's (0x28988BF5) typically signs the source code file.</li>
    <li>Nick's (0x165733EA, or its subkey 0x8D29319A).</li>
    <li>Andrew's (0x31B0974B) typically signed older packages for windows and mac.</li>
    <li>Peter's (0x94C09C7F, or its subkey 0xAFA44BDD).</li>
    <li>Tomás's (0x9A753A6B) signs current Vidalia release tarballs and tags.</li>
    <li>Matt's (0x5FA14861) signed older Vidalia release tarballs.</li>
    <li>Damian's (0x9ABBEEC6) signs Arm releases</li>
    <li>Jacob's (0xE012B42D).</li>
    <li>Erinn's (0x63FEE659) and (0xF1F5C9B5) typically signs all windows, mac, and most linux packages.</li>
    <li>Mike's (0xDDC6C0AD) signs the Torbutton xpi.</li>
    <li>Karsten's (0xF7C11265) signs the metrics archives and tools.</li>
    <li>Robert Hogan's (0x22F6856F) signs torsocks release tarballs and tags.</li>
    </ul>

<h3>Step Zero: Install GnuPG</h3>
    <hr>
    <p>You need to have GnuPG installed before you can verify
    signatures.</p>

<ul>
    <li>Linux: see <a
    href="http://www.gnupg.org/download/">http://www.gnupg.org/download/</a>
    or install <i>gnupg</i> from the package management system.</li>
    <li>Windows: see <a
    href="http://www.gnupg.org/download/">http://www.gnupg.org/download/</a>. Look
    for the "version compiled for MS-Windows" under "Binaries".</li>
    <li>Mac: see <a
    href="http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/">http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/</a>.</li>
    </ul>

<h3>Step One:  Import the keys</h3>
    <hr>
    <p>The next step is to import the key. This can be done directly from
    GnuPG. Make sure you import the correct key. For example, if you
    downloaded a Windows package, you will need to import Erinn's key.</p>

<p><b>Windows:</b></p>
    <p>GnuPG for Windows is a command line tool, and you will need to use
    <i>cmd.exe</i>. Unless you edit your PATH environment variable, you will
    need to tell Windows the full path to the GnuPG program. If you installed GnuPG
    with the default values, the path should be something like this: <i>C:\Program
    Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe</i>.</p>

<p>To import the key 0x28988BF5, start <i>cmd.exe</i> and type:</p>

<pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0x28988BF5</pre>

<p><b>Mac and Linux</b></p>
    <p>Whether you have a Mac or you run Linux, you will need to use the terminal
    to run GnuPG. Mac users can find the terminal under "Applications". If you run
    Linux and use Gnome, the terminal should be under "Applications menu" and
    "Accessories". KDE users can find the terminal under "Menu" and "System".</p>

<p>To import the key 0x28988BF5, start the terminal and type:</p>

<pre>gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0x28988BF5</pre>

<h3>Step Two:  Verify the fingerprints</h3>
    <hr>
    <p>After importing the key, you will want to verify that the fingerprint is correct.</p>

<p><b>Windows:</b></p>
    <pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --fingerprint (insert keyid here)</pre>

<p><b>Mac and Linux</b></p>
    <pre>gpg --fingerprint (insert keyid here)</pre>

The fingerprints for the keys should be:

<h3>Step Three:  Verify the downloaded package</h3>
    <hr>
    <p> To verify the signature of the package you downloaded, you will need
    to download the ".asc" file as well.</p>

<p>In the following examples, the user Alice downloads packages for
    Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and also verifies the signature of each
    package. All files are saved on the desktop.</p>

<p><b>Windows:</b></p>
    <pre>C:\Program Files\Gnu\GnuPg\gpg.exe --verify C:\Users\Alice\Desktop\<file-win32-bundle-stable>.asc C:\Users\Alice\Desktop\<file-win32-bundle-stable></pre>

<p><b>Mac:</b></p>
    <pre>gpg --verify /Users/Alice/<file-osx-x86-bundle-stable>.asc /Users/Alice/<file-osx-x86-bundle-stable></pre>

<p><b>Linux</b></p>
    <pre>gpg --verify /home/Alice/Desktop/<file-source-stable>.asc /home/Alice/Desktop/<file-source-stable></pre>

<p>After verifying, GnuPG will come back saying something like "Good
    signature" or "BAD signature". The output should look something like
    this:</p>

<pre>
    gpg: Signature made Tue 16 Mar 2010 05:55:17 AM CET using DSA key ID 28988BF5
    gpg: Good signature from "Roger Dingledine &lt;arma@mit.edu&gt;"
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: B117 2656 DFF9 83C3 042B  C699 EB5A 896A 2898 8BF5
    </pre>

<p>
    Notice that there is a warning because you haven't assigned a trust
    index to this person. This means that GnuPG verified that the key made
    that signature, but it's up to you to decide if that key really belongs
    to the developer. The best method is to meet the developer in person and
    exchange key fingerprints.
    </p>

<p>For your reference, this is an example of a <em>BAD</em> verification. It
    means that the signature and file contents do not match. In this case,
    you should not trust the file contents:</p>

<pre>
    gpg: Signature made Tue 20 Apr 2010 12:22:32 PM CEST using DSA key ID 28988BF5
    gpg: BAD signature from "Roger Dingledine &lt;arma@mit.edu&gt;"
    </pre>

<p><b>RPM-based distributions :</b></p>
    <p>In order to manually verify the signatures on the RPM packages, you must use the
    <code>rpm</code> tool like so: <br />
    
    <pre>rpm -K filename.rpm</pre></p>
    <p></p>
    
    <p><b>Debian:</b></p>
    <p>If you are running Tor on Debian you should read the instructions on
    <a href="<page docs/debian>#packages">importing these keys to apt</a>.</p>
